 Ans: (a) 4x2 + x + 1
1 1
Sum of zeroes = and Product of zeroes =
4 4
∴ Quadratic Polynomial is p(x) = x2 – (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes
 1  1 1
∴ p(x) = x2 –   x + = 0 ⇒ p(x) = (4x2 + x + 1)
 4  4 4
Hence, required quadratic polynomial is 4x2 + x + 1

5. ΔABC~ΔPQR. If AM and PN are altitudes of ΔABC and ΔPQR respectively and AB2: PQ2 = 4:
9, then AM: PN =
(a) 16: 81 (b) 4: 9 (c) 3: 2 (d) 2: 3

11. In the given figure, PA and PB are tangents to the circle with centre O. If ∠APB = 60°, then
∠OAB is

(a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 90° (d) 15°

Ans: (a) 30°
PA = PB ( Tangents drawn from external point are equal)
⇒ ∠ABP = ∠BAP = x ( Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
In ∆APB, 60° + x + x = 180°
⇒ 2x = 120° ⇒ x = 60°
Now, ∠OAP = 90° (∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)
∴ ∠OAB = 90° – 60° = 30°

graze is (Take π = 22/7)
(a) 60 cm (b) 85 cm (c) 124 cm (d) 176 cm
Ans: (d) 176 cm
Horse can graze in the field which is a circle of radius 28 cm.
So, required perimeter = 2πr = 2π (28) cm = 2 × 22/7 × 28 cm = 176 cm

14. Two dice are thrown at the same time. The probability of getting not doublet is
(a) 1/3 (b) 1/6 (c) 1/5 (d) 5/6
Ans: (d) 5/6
Total number of possible outcomes = 36
Number of outcomes with doublets = 6 i.e. (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)
So, number of favourable outcomes = 36 – 6 = 30

21. If 217x + 131y = 913, 131x + 217y = 827, then find the value of x and y
Ans: Adding the two equations and dividing by 348, we get : x + y = 5
Subtracting the two equations and dividing by 86, we get : x – y = 1
Solving these two new equations, we get, x = 3 and y = 2

24. The length of the minute hand of a clock is 6cm. Find the area swept by it when it moves from
5:25 pm to 6:00 pm.
Ans: We know that, in 60 minutes, the tip of minute hand moves 360°
In 1 minute, it will move = 360°/60 = 6°
∴ From 5:25 pm to 6:00 pm i.e. 35 min, it will move through = 35 × 6° = 210°

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

25. A circle is inscribed in a ΔABC having AB= 10cm, BC = 12cm and CA = 8cm and touching
these sides at D, E, F respectively. Find the lengths of AD, BE and CF

Ans: Let AD = AF = x cm,

BD = BE = y cm
and CE = CF = z cm

Now, x + y = AB = 10 cm
y + z = BC = 12 cm
z + x = CA = 8 cm
Adding all we get 2(x+ y +z) = 30
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 7 -
 ⇒ x + y + z = 15
Subtracting, we get z = 5 cm, x = 3 cm and y = 7 cm
Hence, AD = 3 cm, BE = 7 cm and CF = 5 cm.

SECTION – C
Questions 26 to 31 carry 3 marks each.
26. Given that √5 is irrational, prove that 2 + 3√5 is irrational.
Ans: Let us assume 2 + 3√5 is rational, then it must be in the form of p/q where p and q are co-
prime integers and q ≠0
p
i.e. 2 + 3√5 =
q
p  2q
So 5  …(i)
3q
Since p, q, 5 and 2 are integers and q ≠ 0,
RHS of equation (i) is rational.
But LHS of (i) is √5 which is irrational. This is not possible.
This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 2 + 3√5 is rational.
So, 2 + 3√5 is irrational.

27. Find the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + x – 2, and verify the relation between the coefficients
and the zeroes of the polynomial.
1
Ans: Now we have given the polynomial: x2 + x–2=0
6
Simplifying it, we get 6x2 + x – 12 = 0
⇒ 6x2 – 8x + 9x – 12 = 0
⇒ (6x2 – 8x) + (9x – 12) = 0
⇒ 2x(3x – 4) + 3(3x – 4) = 0
⇒ (3x – 4)(2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = 4/3 or x = -3/2

28. A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 6 km/h faster,
it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 6
km/hr; it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the length of the
journey.
Ans: Let the actual speed of the train be x km/hr and let the actual time taken be y hours.
Distance covered is xy km If the speed is increased by 6 km/hr, then time of journey is reduced
by 4 hours i.e., when speed is (x+6)km/hr, time of journey is (y−4) hours.
∴ Distance covered = (x + 6)(y − 4)
⇒ xy = (x + 6)(y − 4) ⇒ −4x + 6y − 24 = 0 ⇒ −2x + 3y −12 = 0 ………….(i)
Similarly xy = (x − 6)(y + 6) ⇒ 6x − 6y − 36 = 0 ⇒ x − y − 6 = 0 …………(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x=30 and y=24
Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain
Distance = (30 × 24)km =720km.
Hence, the length of the journey is 720km.

 Anuj had some chocolates, and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the first lot at the
rate of ₹2 for 3 chocolates and the second lot at the rate of ₹1 per chocolate, and got a total of
₹400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate of ₹1 per chocolate, and the second lot at the rate of
₹4 for 5 chocolates, his total collection would have been ₹460. Find the total number of
chocolates he had.
Ans: Let the number of chocolates in lot A be x
And let the number of chocolates in lot B be y
∴ total number of chocolates =x+y
2
Price of 1 chocolate = ₹ 2/3 , so for x chocolates = x
3
and price of y chocolates at the rate of ₹ 1 per chocolate =y.
2
∴ by the given condition x + y = 400 ⇒ 2x + 3y = 1200 ..............(i)
3
4
Similarly, x + y = 460 ⇒ 5x + 4y = 2300 ........ (ii)
5
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 300 and y = 200
∴ x + y = 300 + 200 = 500
So, Anuj had 500 chocolates.

30. Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus

Ans: We have ABCD, a parallelogram which circumscribes a circle (i.e., its sides touch the
circle) with centre O.
Since tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length,
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS
Adding, we get
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC
But AB = CD [opposite sides of ABCD]
and BC = AD
∴ AB + CD = AD + BC ⇒ 2 AB = 2 BC
⇒ AB = BC
Similarly AB = DA and DA = CD
Thus, AB = BC = CD = AD
Hence ABCD is a rhombus.

 In the figure XY and X'Y' are two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O and another tangent
AB with point of contact C interesting XY at A and X'Y' at B, what is the measure of ∠AOB.

Ans: Join OC. Since, the tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are equal.
∴ AP = AC

In Δ PAO and Δ AOC, we have:

AO = AO [Common]
OP = OC [Radii of the same circle]
AP = AC
⇒ Δ PAO ≅ Δ AOC [SSS Congruency]
∴ ∠PAO = ∠CAO = ∠1
∠PAC = 2 ∠1 ...(1)
Similarly ∠CBQ = 2 ∠2 ...(2)
Again, we know that sum of internal angles on the same side of a transversal is 180°.
∴ ∠PAC + ∠CBQ = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠1 + 2 ∠2 = 180° [From (1) and (2)]
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°/2 = 90° ...(3)
Also ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠AOB = 180° [Sum of angles of a triangle]
⇒ 90° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° − 90°
⇒ ∠AOB = 90°.

31. Two coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting
(i) At least one head? (ii) At most one tail? (iii) A head and a tail?
Ans: Total number of outcomes = 4
(i) Number of outcomes with at least one head = 3
∴ Required probability = 3/4
(ii) Number of outcomes with at most one tail = 3
∴ Required probability = 3/4
(iii)Number of outcomes with a head and a tail = 2
∴ Required probability = 2/4 = 1/2

32. Two pipes running together can fill a cistern in 3 hours. If one pipe takes 3 hours more than
13
the other to fill it, find the time in which each pipe would fill the cistern.
Ans: Let time taken by faster pipe to fill the cistern be x hrs.
Therefore, time taken by slower pipe to fill the cistern = (x + 3) hrs
Since the faster pipe takes x minutes to fill the cistern.
1
∴ Portion of the cistern filled by the faster pipe in one hour =

According to the question,    
x x  3 40 x( x  3) 40
⇒ 40 (2x + 3) = 13x (x + 3) ⇒ 80x + 120 = 13x2 + 39x
⇒ 13x2 – 41x – 120 = 0 ⇒ 13x2 – 65x + 24x – 120 = 0
⇒ 13x (x – 5) + 24 (x – 5) = 0 ⇒ (x – 5) (13x + 24) = 0
⇒ Either x – 5 = 0 or 13x + 24 = 0
⇒ x = 5 as x = −24/13 not possible.
Hence, the time taken by the two pipes is 5 hours and 8 hours respectively.

In a flight of 600km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the
trip was reduced by 200 km/hr from its usual speed and the time of the flight increased by 30
min. Find the scheduled duration of the flight.
Ans: Let the usual speed of plane be x km/hr
and the reduced speed of the plane be (x – 200) km/hr
Distance =600 km [Given]
According to the question,
(time taken at reduced speed) – (Schedule time) = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours.
600 600 1
⇒  
x  200 x 2
Which on simplification gives: x2 – 200x − 240000 = 0
⇒ x2 – 600x + 400x −240000 = 0
⇒ x(x – 600) + 400( x – 600) = 0 ⇒ (x – 600)(x + 400) =0 ⇒ x = 600 or x = −400
But speed cannot be negative.
∴ The usual speed is 600 km/hr and
the scheduled duration of the flight is 600/600 =1hour

34. A cubical block of side 10 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere. What is the largest diameter that
the hemisphere can have? Find the cost of painting the total surface area of the solid so formed,
at the rate of Rs. 5 per 100 sq. cm. [Use π = 3.14]
Ans: Side of the cubical block (l) = 10 cm.

The hemisphere is surmounted on it.

The largest diameter the hemisphere can have =
side of the cubical block
Diameter of the hemisphere = 10 cm
Radius of the hemisphere (r) = 5 cm
Total surface area of the solid formed
= TSA of the cubical + CSA of the hemisphere - Area of the base of the hemisphere
= 6l2 + 2πr2 – πr2 = 6l2 + πr2

= 6 × 100 + 3.14 × 25
= 600 + 78.50
= 678.5 cm2
Rate of painting = Rs. 5 per 100 cm2
Cost pf painting the solid formed = Rs. 5/100 × 678.5
= Rs. 33.925 = Rs. 33.93 (approx)

Due to heavy floods in a state, thousands were rendered homeless. 50 schools collectively
decided to provide place and the canvas for 1500 tents and share the whole expenditure equally.
The lower part of each tent is cylindrical with base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m and the upper
part is conical with the same base radius, but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used to make the
tents costs ₹120 per m2, find the amount shared by each school to set up the tents.
Ans: Radius of the base of cylinder (r) = 2.8 m = Radius of the base of the cone (r)
Height of the cylinder (h)=3.5 m
Height of the cone (H)=2.1 m.
Slant height of conical part (l)=√(r2 + H2) = √[(2.8)2 + (2.1)2] = √(7.84 + 4.41) = √12.25 = 3.5 m

Ans:
Class Frequency Frequency

820 – 840 14 21
840 – 860 x x + 21
860 – 880 25 x + 46
880 – 900 y x + y + 46
900 – 920 10 x + y + 56
920 – 940 5 x + y + 61

From table, we have x + y + 61 = 100 ⇒ x + y = 100 – 61 ⇒ x + y = 39

Here, median = 868, therefore median class is 860 – 880
So, l = 860, cf = x + 21, f = 25, h = 20, n/2 = 50

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case Study-1

The school auditorium was to be constructed to accommodate at least 1500 people. The chairs
are to be placed in concentric circular arrangement in such a way that each succeeding circular
row has 10 seats more than the previous one.

(i) If the first circular row has 30 seats, how many seats will be there in the 10th row? (1)
(ii) For 1500 seats in the auditorium, how many rows need to be there? (2)

 OR
If 1500 seats are to be arranged in the auditorium, how many seats are still left to be put after
10th row? (2)
(iii) If there were 17 rows in the auditorium, how many seats will be there in the middle row?(1)
Ans: (i) Since each row is increasing by 10 seats, so it is an AP with first term a = 30, and
common difference d =10. So number of seats in 10th row = 10 = a + 9d
= 30 + 9 ×10 = 120
n n
(ii) Sn= ( 2a + (n – 1)d) ⇒ 1500 = ( 2 × 30 + (n-1)10)
2 2
⇒ 3000 = 50n + 10n2 ⇒ n2 + 5n – 300 = 0
⇒ n2 + 20n – 15n – 300 = 0 ⇒ (n + 20) (n – 15) =0
Rejecting the negative value, n = 15
OR
No. of seats already put up to the 10th row = S10
10
S10 = {2 × 30 + (10-1)10)} = 5(60 + 90) = 750
2
So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 – 750 = 750
(iii) If no. of rows =17
then the middle row is the 9th row
8= a + 8d = 30 + 80 = 110 seats

37. Case Study-2

The diagrams show the plans for a sun room. It will be built onto the wall of a house. The four
walls of the sunroom are square clear glass panels. The roof is made using
• Four clear glass panels, trapezium in shape, all the same size
• One tinted glass panel, half a regular octagon in shape

(i) Find the mid-point of the segment joining the points J (6, 17) and I (9, 16). (1)
(ii) Find the distance between the points A and S. (1)
(iii) Find the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points A and B
in the ratio 1:3 internally. (2)

Ans: (i) Mid-point of JI =  ,  , 
 2 2   2 2 
(ii) Distance between A and S = 16 boxes.
(iii) Coordinates of A and B are (1, 8) and (5, 10) respectively.
Coordinates of point dividing AB in the ratio 1 : 3 internally are:
1 5  3  1 110  3  8 8 34
x ,y  x   2, y   8.5
1 3 1 3 4 4
Co-ordinates of required points be (2, 8.5)
OR
(iii) Let P (x,y) is equidistant from the Q(9,8) and S(17,8) then we have
PQ = PS ⇒ PQ2 = PS2
⇒ (x – 9)2 + (y – 8)2 = (x – 17)2 + (y – 8)2
⇒ (x – 9)2 = (x – 17)2
⇒ x2 – 18x + 81 = x2 – 34x + 289
⇒ 34x – 18x + 81 – 289 = 0
⇒ 16x – 208 = 0
⇒ x – 13 = 0

38. Case Study – 3

Anita purchased a new building for her business. Being in the prime location, she decided to
make some more money by putting up an advertisement sign for a rental ad income on the roof
of the building.

From a point P on the ground level, the angle of elevation of the roof of the building is 30° and
the angle of elevation of the top of the sign board is 45°. The point P is at a distance of 24 m
from the base of the building.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 15 -

 On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Find the height of the building (without the sign board). (2)
OR
Find the height of the building (with the sign board) (2)
(ii) Find the height of the sign board. (1)
(iii) Find the distance of the point P from the top of the sign board. (1)
Ans: (i) In ∆APC,

tan 30° = AB/AP

⇒ 1/√3 = AB/24
⇒ AB = 24/√3 m = 13.85 m = 14 m (approx)
OR
Considering, the diagram in the above question, AC as the new height of the shop including the
sign-baard.
In ∆APC,
tan 45° = AC/AP
⇒ 1 = AC/24
⇒ AC = 24 m

(ii) From Q (i) and Q (ii).

Length of sign board, BC = AC – AB
= 24 – 14
= 10 m

(iii) In ∆APC,
cos 45° = AP/AC
⇒ 1/√2 = 24/AC
⇒ PC = 24√2 m
